The West’s complete ignorance of the sub-car motorized transit market aggravates me to no end, especially since it would be the perfect urban arena to develop in most US cities (were there the political will to prioritize them over cars in city centers). Gogoro’s efforts in Taiwan put me on to the idea: https://electre…

Those Teslas with 50K-100K on them were not normal daily rentals, as those cars would NEVER get that many miles put on them. Those are cars that were in the Hertz *rideshare* rental program. Which is probably most of the Tesla fleet at this point. I don’t know if that is better or worse than normal daily rentals.…

They come apart like on any other car. This is mass produced vehicle that’s part of the Stellantis group and uses the same suppliers as many other brands.

Lazy, biased, ignorant writing, but hey it gets clicks right? $400 oil changes? Yeah if you’re an idiot. It’s a car, like so many other cars, with a drain plug and an oil filler cap and an oil filter. It uses synthetic oil like your grandma’s Lexus. I could go on and on.

No, this is a decent buy and your alternatives are stupid. Don’t buy this Italian sedan, buy a less reliable Italian sedan with an F1 transmission or a Toyota Coupe, seriously?

The fads that are the worst are those that put other people in danger: Bro Trucks with huge lifts, stanced cars with enough camber to seriously affect grip, tinted windshields... basically anything that negatively interferes with visibility, handling, or braking. Everything else; knock yourself out. It’s your money. 

Along with huge lifts with giant wheels that stick out a foot or more from the fenders. I like a nice lifted truck with big tires, but the low profile mud terrains make me shake my fist at clouds.

Squatted-trucks.

Slammed/stanced to the point where the camber is at 45 degrees. It is both incredibly dangerous and crazy expensive:

Huge wheels combined with tires with such low aspect ratios, it’s as if the vehicle has big rubber bands stretched around the chrome abominations:

I hate scowling jeep grills and that whole mean off roader look.

Who’s cross-shopping a Maserati and a FR-S?

Ugh. This is a spectacularly shitty take.

You guys are really struggling for material, eh? It’s a (relatively) low-mileage, very low-price (for the brand, package and even the model year) performance-luxury oddity. Yes, you can buy any number of different cars for the money (most of which wouldn’t actually offer either the performance or the luxury, btw -…

$3,500 to fix a door card? Not sure how this is put together, but if you can take it apart, some glue or something should fix this for next to nothing. And if you are paying $400 for an oil change or $1,200 for brakes, yikes! I will do oil and brakes for $150 and $900 all day. 

This seems like a really odd take. Sure this car has high running costs and the build quality is poor, but it’s nine years old and sold for 20% of the new price. Your suggestion is to buy a different Maserati that is nine years older for only $4k less? The buyer who wants a fast luxury sedan is also not the buyer who…

I’m not much of a Tesla fan, but if Tesla had released these concepts, with the kind of breathless hyperbole that’s parroted in this “article,” I’m pretty sure the writers here would have mercilessly mocked all of it. As you say, this seems to show that Honda is entirely unserious about EVs, if all they’re doing is…

Agreed - if they were serious, they’d show stuff that’s close to ready for production, with an actual, fully engineered platform under it. This is just a bunch of posturing.

You’re kidding, right? These look like concepts other automakers showed back when EVs were not a thing.  This shows nothing of them being remotely serious. They are if anything very far behind.

this vehicle should only Cost $30k at most
